Master Chef

Having been up in Scotland last week, what could I bring back????

A HAGGIS (shot with my own bare hands)

 I entertained my friends George and Barbara, but timing is not my strong point in cooking, 

so, we had a late start, 

but  then I surprised myself with the result, 

I enjoyed it, and they were very polite to say they enjoyed it too.

Haggis tatties and neeps.

George did the washing up, Barb showed me what to do with left overs, not that there was much,

 a fry up for lunch.

She was a bit skinny with the afters I only had about 10 profiteroles

and then we had a wee dram to finish  with.

A very pleasant evening with good friends what could be better..

Another Mistaken identity

What is happening to me in Scotland?
I went to visit Rick at work today, and asked one of the men at the bottom station of the Gondola, where Rick is, he said he was at the top station, and I was then asked if I would like a ride up to the top. Which I gratefully accepted (nice freebie).
On arriving at the top one of Ricks colleagues, who did not know who I was, said to Rick here comes John Wayne, (must be my bow-legs). Rick said no it's my Dad.

The only problem John Wayne is older than me, and has more money.

Tilly likes climbing mountains

and coming back down again

Mistaken identity

I had a visit into Port Appin yesterday, to see if any of my old friends where around.
On going past the ferry cottages, I spied Mrs McKenzie the teacher from the now long closed Port Appin school.
I went across to talk to her and it went like this, (she was kneeling down doing some gardening with her back toward me).
I said
 " Hello Mrs McKenzie can I book my children into your school"
she turned round and looked long and hard
with a smile on her face, "Dobson" she said
I said
"Yes"
being very pleased she recognized me,
She said
"You are the spitting image of your Dad".
Knowing that she had never seen my Dad, I said
"I am the Dad"
"John" she said "I mistook you for .............."
I will not reveal his name in order not to embarrass him.
I am dead chuffed being taken for about 25 years younger.
This must mean that both of us is good looking

The whole of Port Appin School three of which are Dobsons
